Sometimes it seems that beauty is not in the eyes of the beholder, does it? Fashion may seem elusive and reserved for the privileged. But taking steps in the right direction, towards confidence and a fashionable wardrobe, is much easier than you think.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Lay the Foundation

1. 1 Tidy up your closet. Get out all your clothes and decide which you want and which you don't. Gift, sell or change the purpose of anything that you haven't worn for a year (for off-season items), that doesn't suit you or doesn't suit your style.
   • If you haven't worn a thing for a whole year, then you don't need it. Because of the thought: "One day this may be useful to me!" - you will think that you have nothing more to wear. Get rid of it. Someone else can breathe a second life into your belongings.
   • If you have a lot of things that no longer suit you, do not store them all in the hope that someday you will fit in them. Leave a few favorites, but throw away the rest. A closet full of things that don't suit you can be very demotivating.

   Organization will help you create a stylish look. Veronica Tarmalingum, a professional stylist, says: “If all your jeans, trousers and leggings are gathered in one place, and your casual T-shirts and dressy tops are kept organized as well, it is much easier for you to pull them out and combine them... Otherwise, you will stare in panic at your wardrobe or chest of drawers with the words: "I have nothing to wear!"

   
   
2. 2 Determine your body type. And dress accordingly. The most fashionable things in the world at the moment will not look good on you if your body type does not match them. This does not mean that you are too fat, too thin, too tall or too short. You just do not have optimal shapes for this cut.
   • Identify anything that doesn't sit well on you. You can do it easily. If your silhouette doesn't look like what it could have been, then you probably won't be wearing it.
   • When shopping, keep your body type in mind. For most women, it would be ideal to accentuate the waist and lengthen the legs. If something is not clear, you can always ask the help of a sales assistant. Helping you look good is his job.
3. 3 Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Try to look at yourself as objectively as possible. Identify the features of your appearance that you like and dislike. What would you like to hide? What would you like to emphasize? What colors are right for you?
   • It is very important to find answers to these questions before you go shopping so you know what to buy! If you have no idea about this, then buying new things can be very intimidating.

Method 2 of 3: Find Your Fashion

1. 1 Know your style. What do you like? Do you want to incorporate trendy elements into your wardrobe or do you prefer a classic style? Are you inclined to become a hipster? Do you want to look solid? Being trendy doesn't mean sticking to a particular look. This means finding something that you feel comfortable in and wearing it.
   • Spend time flipping through catalogs or browsing websites that showcase and sell clothes. There are many different things that will look phenomenal on you, you just need to find them.
   • Ultimately, clothes that you feel comfortable in and love will be more confident to wear. This has to do not only with today's fashion, but more with how you present yourself, although these factors are related.
   • Find out what others are wearing. You don't have to be trendy to be attractive. Perhaps someone's image will seem very attractive to you, and you will take it as the basis of yours.
2. 2 Consider the setting. Where you live, where you go and what you do are the main aspects of dressing fashionably. If you wear luxurious evening gowns to the office, then it is not fashionable. If you are wearing a business suit for prom, the same is true. Think about what clothes are right for what you are going to do.
   • Fashion changes from place to place. What is fashionable on the catwalks of Milan may not have reached the streets of Moscow yet. No matter what fashion you're aiming for, tap into its sources. Finding what you like and fit well is above all, no matter where it came from and by whom.

Method 3 of 3: Do it

1. 1 Start shopping. The best thing to do is buy long-lasting items that will retain their class over the seasons. Fashion changes surprisingly fast! Do not fill your wardrobe with things that will no longer be in fashion at the same time in a year. You will just regret buying this. Every woman needs half a dozen pieces of clothing for a basic wardrobe. Find yours.
   • Based on what suits your figure, find a few of your favorite, variable items. A classic white blouse with buttons, a favorite pair of well-fitting jeans, boots, a zippered skirt and a sweater to get you started. You can mix and match all of these elements as you like for dozens of different looks.
2. 2 Buy more. Now that you have the foundation, it's time to have fun! Buy awesome shoes, cute accessories and get a haircut! Does a bright purple leatherette trench coat look too flashy? A handbag in the same style would be a great choice.
   • After all, the devil is in the details. Accessories and hairstyles are the elements with which it is easiest to show your cheeky side. So cut out a photo of the celebrity with that haircut from the magazine and head to the salon. When you're done with that, you can also do a manicure.
   • Remember the old adage, "Put on your accessories and then take off one of them before going out." And it's true: accessories are great, but beads, bracelets, earrings, rings, watches, glasses and a hat are a little over the top. Pair a couple of accessories with every outfit. Don't overdo it.
3. 3 Ask someone to go shopping with you. It is always good to have an outside perspective, especially a friend, so that time passes faster. Bring someone with you who can provide clear criticism of your clothing. The image we see in the mirror doesn't always match how we actually look!
   • Take a side view with a little doubt. Her style is her style, not yours. But if she really likes something on you, and you don't see it, take a close look. Take your time and see if you can see what she sees. You can discover a completely new style.

Tips

• Confidence is key. In the absence of it, no one will admire your appearance. You have to believe in yourself, then the rest will believe.
• Be yourself! If you like something and someone else doesn't like it, don't worry. The other person has no right to say what you should like and what not. But don't forget honest friends. There is a difference between what is terribly unsuitable for you and what is different in style.
• Try pawnshops and other discount stores. There you can find a lot of things and at "tasty" prices.
• Flip through the magazines and find a style icon you can draw inspiration from. The stars should always look good, as they are always in sight!
• Remember, you can always make an old thing new. If you have sewing skills, use them! Never be afraid to stand out by being unique. Setting trends is always fashionable.
• Wear dark colors in winter and bright and trendy colors in summer.
• Don't be afraid to show your real self!
• Mint goes well, if not quite, then almost everything, be it brown, pink, blue, white or any other color.
• When putting on anything with patterns and prints, don't forget about accessories.
• If an outfit is too business-like or just not to your liking, you don't need to wear it, even if someone says it's trendy.

Warnings

• Clothes don't look cooler if they cover less. You can show a little body, but a plunging neckline or a top above the navel is not necessary in order to be attractive. Leave something to the imagination.
• Never do not wear things in which you do not feel beautiful. If you feel uncomfortable, everyone will notice. To be fashionable means to be confident.
• Not try to match your makeup with your outfit. This sounds like a good idea, but it is not. For example, pink T-shirt, pink makeup. Instead, choose a makeup that will highlight the color of your eyes.
